Directed by Grant Gee and written by Mark O’Halloran, Everybody Digs Bill Evans is a refreshingly candid music biopic that avoids the simple hagiography of many films in the genre. Shot in stunning black & white, what emerges is a portrait of a legendary musician who was also a deeply complex and tortured man.

Review quotes:
“★★★★ Elusive, ruminative and very absorbing… [Grant] Gee thoroughly inhabits Evans’s world.”
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
“★★★★ Atmospheric, beautifully visualised and captures something powerful about the poisoned chalice of possessing exceptional creative talent.”
Hugh Montgomery, BBC
“Elegant and honestly felt… a study not just of the tumult that often produces great art, but the silence too.”
Guy Lodge, Variety
